its awesome how you can just repackage a game and slap-on 'GOTY' regardless if it won it or not.
ie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_of_the_Year#Video_games_-_Critic_and_editor_awards_.28Game_of_the_Year.29
crtl+F - search Dead Island... yeah it doesn't come up. |

| I though you actually had to win a GOTY award to deserve a GOTY edition? |

| I thought Dead Island was solid, but maybe "Complete Edition" would be more appropriate than "Game of the Year" |

| If the hit recognition actually worked in this game it could have been good but when you're swinging and hitting absolutely nothing for about the millionth time whilst a zombie is quite happily chewing your nads off you know a game is bad ! |

GOTY Edition Criteria:
1. Actually be worthy of that title.
2. Have more than 1 1/2 DLCs available. |

Well I for one am happy. I've been waiting for one like this to show up.
It's amusing that the industry has trained me to NOT buy a game until I know for sure whether or not there will be a complete version. |

| I actually though about bying this game besides from the mixed revieuws. Until I was in the store an the guy behind the desk told me that there was no split screen and so no local multiplayer. Then I was like " Ohh, but it could have sworn that I read about it". And so I bought Left 4 Dead 2 instead, now regrets about that decision :) |

| I actually loved this game, it was probably my 2nd favorite game of the year behind Skyrim. I didn't really have many problems with it, aside from the location glitch and i did have a lvl 39 character get corrupt and have to start over. So I guess that was a really bad one. I did find the game fun as hell though, playing with 3 friends we played from 11 am on release day until 7 am the next day. So we all enjoyed it ALOT, and it has a 89% rating from fans on this site so a lot of others enjoyed the game as well. Not sure why so many people hated it, but it definitely doesn't deserve a GOTY edition. Both DLCs were garbage, and I never even finished the Ryder one. I was so ticked off that enemies just kept spawning, so you got overwhelmed and never got a break to move on to the next area. And if you died you went back to a previous checkpoint, rather than just respawning like in the regular game and all the enemies you killed still being dead. So they REALLY screwed up on both DLCs, they were just horrible. |

After all these years, people still don't realize that there are about 100+ categories for GOTY. Dead Island won with this trailer.

| This was the best game not named Skyrim last year. I'd wager heavily that 95% of the haters didn't even play it. It was no glitchier than any Bethesda offering, and, personally, I didn't run across a single glitch once. Tremendous game. I will say, I'm scared right off that DLC though. Doesn't sound great. Maybe Ryder White's. |

| Certain people are right, I had more bugs and glitches while playing Skyrim than playing this. My friend and I beat it within a day but that's what made it so much fun. If you played this with friends then you know how much of a good time it was beating down zombies. I never downloaded the dlcs only because after the main story was done I did not feel like going back to this at all. |

I don't know why so many people complain about the GOTY?
It doesn't even matter to me what its called. Could be "Best game ever edition" as long as they release a version with all the DLC. How often does it happen, that you buy an old game for 10-15$ only to see, that the DLC overall still costs 20 or 30$. Every game that has DLC, should at some point do one of these editions. If you don't want the DLC, fine buy the regular one but for completionists its always better to have a full version of a game on disc available. |

Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if it's been labelled as GOTY because most of the non-gaming community (i.e. general public) have come to know GOTYs as having DLC added with the game, so for their sake it makes sense (marketing-wise).
But yes, I agree a "Complete Edition" would make more sense in name. |

I was on Steam and saw this game was on sale (60% off, so $11.99), but I figured I'd check a few reviews first. This was the first site I came to, and much to my surprise I see this on the main page.
Looks like I'm buying the game, skipping the DLC. |

| I'm surprised people are bitching about this being GOTY and whether it deserves it or not. As much as I love Dead Island, the GOTY version is completely unnecessary. Most who bought the game would've pre-ordered it and got all the DLC for free anyway. Didn't anyone notice that the pre-order DLC was ALL the DLC this game has? So pre-ordered games = GOTY version and GOTY version = unnecessary. |

It won a few GOTY awards not main category though, so it's ok.
Great they are realeasing a complete edition, might pick this up now as I didn't when it launched.
I don't know for some reason Complete edition, always grab my attention and drag myself towards them perhaps MAGIC :P |
